The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣
My superhero catch phrase would probably be something like “STAND CLEAR OF ME” or “PLEASE GO OVER THERE”
I can't believe LinkedIn has added games. Stop trying to make LinkedIn happen. It's not a cool place to hang out.
B-b-bingo!
Erika Moen draws in a cartoony, bouncy style with simple lines and no backgrounds. She uses a color palette of dusty yellows, pale oranges, red-pink, teal, yellow, black, and white. Two women in their late 20s-mid 30s are talking excitedly with each other. "Alright, so Saturday at 6?" Janet asks Bea, looking excited. She has short, scruffy red-pink hair with longer bangs that are swept to the side and held in place with a small barrette. She has a dusty peach-orange skin tone, a trim build, and wears a black t-shirt with an unbuttoned plaid long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her muted orange pants cuffs are rolled up just above her black sneakers. A wallet chain hangs from her right pocket. "Yup, it's a date!" Bea replies coyly, giving Janet a flirty eye. "I can't wait!" Her hair is braided into tight cornrows, her skin tone is also the same dusty peach-orange as Janet's, and she has a huskier, strong build. She wears a dark red-pink T-shirt over a second white T-shirt, along with her muted orange jeans. In a euphoric daze, Janet walks away. Her eyes are swirls and her mouth is curled into a big, goofy grin while little hearts emanate around her head. "Ohmigod, was that your crush?" Asks Erika as she rushes to meet up with Janet. Erika is a curvy 40-something white woman with a muffin top and tattoos on her arms. She has a poof of bangs while the rest of her head is shorn. She wears a black tank top, red-pink cuffed jean shorts, and her red-pink socks rise up higher than her black boots. Still in a daze with her eyes swirling, Janet replies, "She... she asked me out." "Yeah, man!" Erika cheers, giving the thumbs up. "Congrats! Haha, about time one of you actually made a move." Full transcript on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/sti-disclosure-erika-moen
Full-on panicking, Janet asks, "What if she wants to kiss? What if she wants to do more? I CAN'T. I need to cancel now before she finds out and runs screaming for the hills." "Finds out what?" Asks Erika. "...Finds out I have a-" Janet begins to say, before she is interrupted by an enormous teal blob that lands on her back, forcing her to double over. Yellow and teal germ-like scribbles float around and in it, along with the words, "Sexually Transmitted Infection", which are written to look like they're infected and melting. Back in reality without the STI blob, Erika casually asks, "Oh, an STI? Is that all?" "Uh, yes?" Asks Janet, confused and a little offended. "That's a HUGE deal!" Now melodramatically holding the back of her hand to her forehead, she uses her other hand to wipe away her tears as she confesses, "I'm afraid nobody will every want to be with me when they find out. I should just stop dating now!" "Hey, I know it can feel isolating to have an STI," Erika says reassuringly. "but you definitely don't have to become a hermit because of it. You're hardly alone!"
Narration: Did you know that roughly 1 out of 5 people in the USA have an STI?* *As of 2018. CDC, "Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevalence, Incidence, and Cost Estimates in the United States" Five generic people silhouettes are lined up. The center one is colored teal, while the remaining four are orange. "That's about 68 million people! And not all of them even know it." Erika chirps. In her angst, Janet is transported to a dark room where she is illuminated by a teal spotlight. Her posture is full of shame as she retorts, "Augh, Erika, you don't get it! You've never had to tell someone that you have... you have..." Back in in the well-lit present, Erika interrupts, "...Dude, I've told potential partners that I have herpes." "You have herpes?!" Janet exclaims, aghast. "Have we seriously never talked about this?" Asks Erika, with an expression of disbelief. "You TOLD people you have herpes..." Asks Janet, looking completely unnerved and shocked. "...and they STILL wanted to do stuff with you?" "Yeah!" Erika replies cheerfully. "Well, I mean, one person did turn me down when I disclosed. But in general, you just take extra precautions together, is all!" Spinning out, Janet asks, "How do you even tell somebody? What do you say??? When do you tell?" A banner unfurls stating, "Read the rest on Oh Joy Sex Toy .com"

Hello, Bluesky. Here is a very important picture of Charlie, and her ball. Thank you for your attention on this critical matter.

Dogs have all got Spring Fever - bad!

Republicans: Help! Help! The insane, violent, wasteful and illegal shit we always force on the country has YET FUCKIN AGAIN hurt voters and now they're really mad at us. And it's an election year!
Democrats: We gotchu fam.
Amazing to see the change that can be possible to reduce longstanding racial health disparities. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Story by @aniloza.bsky.social Comments from @thenephrologist.bsky.social whttps://www.statnews.com/2026/03/10/kidney-transplants-black-americans-race-based-test-discarded/ via @statnews.com
If you are an author or editor at *ANY* level -- from beginner to jaded old veteran like me, click through to the article Todd's posting about, take 2 minutes, and email them to let them know you opt out. Will save us all time having to mount yet a 577th class-action suit down the road.
I don’t think people living outside the US realize how a lack of universal healthcare BREAKS people. There are people in catastrophic accidents who wake up in an ambulance and wish they were dead because they have no way to pay for their treatment.
Thank you, Overly Confident White Man, for ignoring every harm LLMs and genAI already inflict while simultaneously longing for a future that will isolate disabled folks further via hyper-individualized online experiences.
Once on a panel for a professional conference, someone asked me if technology gives me hope for access.
I said let’s get ramps on every building first, and the tech bro manager was PISSED. People want to believe that they invented the answer to systemic issues…without understanding the issues.
Definitely not just Colleges of Ed desperately papering over massive deficits while also looking in horror at the bare trickle of out-of-state and international students making the numbers even worse every semester/term.
Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.
Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

I haven't given up masking indoors in 2026 just because others have. It's not a virtue or thing I'm super jazzed about daily, it's basic survival. I can't afford to risk post-viral complications & really dislike being sick

"Plaintiffs provided numerous videos, which were received in evidence and unambiguously show DHS officers spraying OC Spray directly into the faces of peaceful and nonviolent protesters engaged in, at most, passive resistance and discharging tear gas and firing pepper-ball munitions into crowds of peaceful and nonviolent protestors," Simon wrote, using the term "OC Spray" to refer to pepper spray. "Defendants' conduct - physically harming protestors and journalists without prior dispersal warnings - is objectively chilling."

This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards.
Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.
“You can feel it rattling your eardrums,” Devan Jenkins, who lives in Memphis’ Whitehaven neighborhood, said while describing the sound of the turbines that power one of Elon Musk's xAI data centers. “It makes you feel like you're going insane.”

Yes. Local taxes are on top of the federal tax, and those pay for different things (check your local legislation!) but for federal gas tax:
